Chapter 249 Young Master He Is Not a Serious Person

"You didn't know about it these past few years, but you've been living well?"

The problem is, now we know. Village Chief Liang wanted to cry but had no tears. He also felt as if there was a pair of eyes outside staring at him, full of resentment.

It was still noon, so what should we do at night?

"Just offer more sacrifices when you have nothing to do. And the child died in the water, and can only appear from the water in the future. Stay away from the water when you have nothing to do." He Lingchuan was not an expert in this either, "You can ask Elder Liang when he comes back."

Village Chief Liang was refreshed. Yes, there is a master in the village now!

He Lingchuan didn't care about him, and went out to call Yanlang and Shan Youjun and others, and was about to ride a horse.

But at this moment, several horses ran in from outside the village. The knights' demeanor was very different from that of ordinary people, especially the leader, who was about forty years old, with a tall crown and narrow eyes, and his facial features were a bit similar to Village Chief Liang.

As soon as they entered the village, the nearby villagers gathered around to greet them with smiles, and some knelt down directly, shouting "Land Immortal".

This treatment is a far cry from He Lingchuan and others.

Who is coming? Need I say?

He Lingchuan immediately thought of the guest from the General Manager's Mansion, who had given his father a meal at noon. No, it was the guest from Chuanyun Pavilion who had a big meal, Elder Liang.

Village Chief Liang was also very excited to see them, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, you are back!"

Elder Liang smiled at him, turned his eyes to He Lingchuan and others, and the two sides met.

Village Chief Liang then introduced the two parties.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I have heard of you for a long time. Did Elder Liang have a good chat with General Manager He at noon?"

In fact, he took advantage of He Chunhua's delay of Elder Liang to come here to coerce Village Chief Liang, but was blocked by Elder Liang in the end. It was indeed a little embarrassing.

But who is He Lingchuan? It is completely impossible to tell from his face.

Elder Liang nodded and smiled.

He Lingchuan waited for a few breaths, but he didn't speak.

Eh? Didn't my father tell me that the distinguished guest from Chuanyun Pavilion was a mute?

The disciple behind Elder Liang stepped forward and said solemnly: "Sorry, Master is practicing the Shukou Jue, and rarely speaks. I'll do it for you if you have anything to say."

He Lingchuan said "Oh" for a long time, without any grudge: "If you can't say it, don't say it, it doesn't matter. I've finished my work, you can talk about brotherhood, then I'll leave first." After that, he smiled at everyone, turned over and rode with his subordinates, and ran out of the village.

When their backs disappeared, Elder Liang stretched out his hands and waved. Everyone understood this action, and the onlookers quickly dispersed and did not dare to stay and disturb.

They treated Elder Liang much more respectfully than they did Village Chief Liang. Everyone knew that Shuangyu Village could live so well, largely relying on the Taoist elder in front of them.

After entering the house, Elder Liang made a few gestures to his brother.

He has been practicing the Shukou Jue for twenty years, but he rarely returns to his hometown. Village Chief Liang is not familiar with sign language, so he can only look to his disciples.

Disciples should do their best to help, so here we need to translate and explain:

"Master, let me ask you, the government sent these people here to deal with that matter?"

Village Chief Liang's smile faltered, and he sighed: "Yes, but don't be angry, what they said makes sense, so I, I..."

He hesitated for a few words, and seeing that his fourth brother's eyes were sharp, he had to continue: "I stamped it."

Elder Liang gestured a few more times, and the disciple translated: "This is the village's business, you decide."

He hasn't come back for several years, and he doesn't take offerings from here. What does the village's business have to do with him? If the village elders hadn't used him as a banner, and his brother had asked him to intercede with the new manager, he wouldn't want to wade into this muddy water.

"Okay, okay." Village Chief Liang promised repeatedly, and smiled again, "Then I'll go to the village elders now."

He had made up his mind to say that compromising with the government was also the instruction of Elder Liang, and the other village elders naturally had nothing to say. Even if they had opinions, they didn't dare to raise them to Elder Liang in person.

Elder Liang looked at his back and shook his head. He knew what his brother was thinking.

"The newly appointed governor clearly promised you at the banquet, but secretly sent people into the village." The disciple seemed to be dissatisfied.

Elder Liang made a few gestures.

"On the contrary... respect?" Why was the master not angry? "Disciple does not understand."

Elder Liang smiled and stopped explaining.

On this side, He Lingchuan and others walked forward two or three hundred steps along the mountain road. Zhou Shaofu could not help but said to He Lingchuan: "Young Master He, I'm afraid that Elder Liang has already known it."

He Lingchuan saw that his smile just now was very flattering: "You and I are doing official business, he is just a civilian here, what are you afraid of?"

This is the truth, but reality is reality. Mr. Zhou gradually understood the young master's temper, and stopped arguing. He turned to ask the question in his mind: "Did the village chief really kill the water ghost in Shuangyu Village?"

"What water ghost?"

"Didn't you just say..."

He Lingchuan whipped his whip: "I lied to him, and you believed it?"

"..." He believed it.

"When Village Chief Liang and his third daughter-in-law were having sex by the river, there was more than one spectator in the grove." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "He drowned the child in yellow clothes in the water, thinking that killing the witness would eliminate the trouble. But he didn't expect that the child's friend was hiding in the long grass a few feet away, and dared not move. Not only did he see Village Chief Liang's affair with his own eyes, but he also witnessed the whole process of his murder."

"When Village Chief Liang left, the friends rushed home and told their parents everything." He Lingchuan paused, "My parents were afraid of the village chief's power, so of course they wanted him to keep silent. Not many people knew about this. Know."

Zhou Shifu suddenly realized: "So that's it! Then how did you know?"

"The parents of this young witness were one of the seven villagers who sold their fields to Tian Cao to join the army. They were leaving anyway, and the buyers who took over the fields were officials, so they simply wrote down this confession and included it in the transaction. "It's in the land deed." He Lingchuan chuckled, "I've been holding this in for several years. I won't be happy if I don't say it."

It seems that the villagers secretly have a lot of opinions about the village chief.

Tian Cao joined the army and saw this piece of paper and handed it to He Chunhua. After the latter read it, he started to worry about it, so he sent He Lingchuan to take action.

Zhou Shifu was amused: "Then Village Chief Liang won't even dare to take a bath from now on." For Village Chief Liang, where there is water, there may be water ghosts.

"Then it depends on whether Elder Liang has great powers and can exorcise the village chief's inner demons." Young Master He originally wanted to collect some more evidence. There are so many pairs of eyes in the village that are not blind. It is impossible for Village Chief Liang’s personal affair to be leak-proof. However, Elder Liang went straight to the state capital today to ask for favor from Shuangyu Village. He Chunhua ordered his eldest son to handle the matter quickly. He Lingchuan could not Don’t come early.

Arriving at the outskirts of Xinxiang, Zhou Sifu said goodbye to He Lingchuan with those precious land deeds in his arms.

This Young Master He's acting style is really...

Be informal.

When He Lingchuan returned to Dunyu, the sun was already setting in the west.

As soon as he entered the house, Lao Mo led him to the living room. There is a new guest here, and even He Chunhua and his wife have to accompany him personally——

The master of Songyang Palace, Li Qingge.

There was a small pile of fruit shells on the table. It was obvious that Marquis Songyang had been sitting here for some time.

When He Lingchuan saw her, he was startled at first, and then pointed at He Chunhua: "Don't be surprised, Marquis Songyang, it was Mr. He who temporarily sent me out to do the task!"

Li Qingge had made an appointment with him a long time ago to come to watch Broken Knife today. In fact, this agreement has been postponed twice because Li Qingge is extremely busy.

As a result, He Chunhua assigned an urgent task to his eldest son. He Lingchuan led the monkey and wolf out with his subordinates, forgetting to inform Li Qingge that today's appointment was postponed.

Marquis Songyang arrived as promised, but wasted no time and had to chat with He Chunhua who returned home for a long time.

As for why Mrs. Ying was present, He Lingchuan figured it out on his knees.

He Chunhua laughed and scolded: "You are really my good son!" He immediately pushed me out to take the blame.

Li Qingge smiled without any sign of impatience: "It doesn't matter, Mr. He is on business. The manager and I have also settled several transactions."

He Chunhua explained: "Xiazhou Prefecture will hire seven disciples from Songyang Prefecture to serve in the mansion and the army."

Li Qingge nodded: "We cannot let Chuanyun Pavilion take the lead."

He Chunhua asked his eldest son again: "How are things going in Shuangyu Village?"

"It's done. The village seal has been stamped on the land deed, and Zhou Shifu went back happily." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I met a man as soon as I left the village. He was wearing a high hat and his eyes were raised to the sky. Could it be Elder Liang?"

"After I had lunch with Elder Liang, he went back to Shuangyu Village." He Chunhua took a sip of tea, "He came this time to pay a visit on behalf of Chuanyun Pavilion, and recommended a dozen outstanding disciples to me. "

I understand, I just came to pay homage to the pier.

Then why send someone who can't open his mouth?

However, Chuanyun Pavilion was well-known in the north, and He Chunhua was a new official, so he had to give Elder Liang some slack no matter what. In He Lingchuan's view, the relationship between Taoism and the government is somewhat similar to that between a university and the government. Most of the talents trained by Taoism are interested in official careers.

Both parties had needs, so He Chunhua was very polite and considerate to Elder Liang and Marquis Songyang.

He Lingchuan looked at Li Qingge. She is too young, and people always forget that she is the head of a sect and is on an equal footing with the head of Chuanyun Pavilion.

"By the way, after Sun Fuping's death, the position of Imperial Master became vacant." Li Qingge added, "I heard the news from the capital. The list of candidates has come out, and there are three people. I hope that this time, our king can choose A good national teacher.”

He Chunhua's eyes moved slightly: "Sir Sir Alex is really well-informed. Among the candidates, which one do you prefer?"

"These three are all outstanding people and have connections." Li Qingge pondered, "Relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about Fan Ke and Yan Lixin. The final national master should be chosen from among them."

"Our country originally had three national masters. If you remove Sun Fuping, there are still two." He Chunhua said with a smile, "The environment in the capital is a hundred times more complicated than Dunyu's. Those who can finally climb to the position of national master must have both strength and power."
